| Pending shipping questions. So...I'm more proactive when it comes to things like this. Often things do go sideways, get overlooked etc and my default is to check sooner than later rather than trust what often is a poor process. If you have no update at all on the shipment it... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Yeah, it aint just on audio forums. Everyone's suddenly an expert, everyone can't wait to show off that they're and "expert" and it sure feels safe sitting in front of a keyboard attacking, arguing, bullying people. Unfortunately though this behav... | |
| Pass Labs Preamps with tube amps? I have aa Pass XP10 and Pass 250.8- and Audio research REF150SE amp and the LS28SE pre amp; speakers are Wilson Sasha 2. I switch around combinations of the gear every few months to save hours on the tubes in the ARC and or heat generation - sound... | |
| Tung-Sol kt170 tube started glowing brighter @kitegod , Yes, you can replace the one bad tube with one with similar numbers on it and then check / reset bias. If your amp isn't rated for the KT170 despite being told it should work it might be safest to revert to the tube types that are speci... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @knock1 Not sure what you're concerned about- the OP expressed concern about ordering the speakers and getting no response/no purchase confirmation for two weeks. I commented that getting no confirmation, no acknowledgement of the order should be ... | |

| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @ozzy62 Little tip back- I did read the entire post and I commented that it was more than a coincidence that only when the OP made the post was he then contacted about his order and the vague "problem with our credit card provider" for them not p... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? You should feel nervous- I would. And posters below "assuring you" that all's well and "trust" and "they're sure that everything's fine" are well intentioned but uninformed and don't know anymore than you do. Not getting any response for your orde... | |
| Help with streamer software Why not Roon? Its good, ties in Quboz, Tidal etc, MQA, seamless and PS Audio is Roon certified. You also get a fair amount of digital EQ options too. Its pretty stable and has the best UI out there? | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." It's tricky to find a "keeper" of a speaker for most of us S WE continually search for the next upgrade. I've had some really expensive speakers that were great and some that weren't. Some of the more musical ones were not expensive and considered... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Building on my other response to you here. I wouldn't waste money on room treatment either. I did during my Sopra 2 "problem"- it made no difference- the speakers were always etched and non involving regardless - no amount of treatment will fix pr... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I had similar issues when I upgraded from Focal 1038BE to Sopra 2. The 1038's were pretty good, really musical, forgiving and likable. The Sopra 2 were anything but. They were etched, cold, analytical and not at all musical. I almost hated them an... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases If it’s now too expensive or you don’t see the added value of whatever improvements they made then vote with your wallet. The reason inflation is sticking around is that despite wholesale prices generally being down significantly retailers and OEM... | |
| McIntosh C28 transistor subs Of course aftermarket transistors will work. Transistors are color coded so they can be identified. Take close up pics of them, look up the color codes and then call a couple of parts houses and get the tight tolerance versions of them and have yo... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... So...you have SEVEN 21" sub woofers in your room and you need a little more "oomph" ??? |
